From The Mind Of Bill Russell

• Commitment separates those who live their dreams from those who live their lives regretting the opportunities they have squandered.
• Learning is a daily experience and a lifetime mission. I truly believe in the saying "We work to become, not to acquire.
• If you really have integrity, there are very few people who can insult you, or honor you.
• If a guy pays you five dollars, you give him seven dollars worth of work.
• The idea is not to block every shot. The idea is to make your opponent believe that you might block every shot.
• To love someone is nothing, to be loved by someone is something, to love someone who loves you is everything.
• My most prized possession was my library card from the Oakland Public Library.
• What distinguishes a great player is his presence. When he goes on to the court, his presence dominates the atmosphere.
